Rural people (for the most part) are fundamentally honest IMO. So, they tend to believe what they hear on the radio and TV, not being aware of the cynical nature of the electronic age. So, they believe what they hear and therefore they listen to TRUMP and believe that fundamentally he is a honest man. That is their core in their communities - people are honest with few exceptions.

That is why it is so hard for them to accept the nature of someone like TRUMP.
